About Bad Omens
Bad Omens formed in 2015 and built their following the hard way—through relentless touring and releasing music independently before signing to Sumerian Records. The LA metalcore band, fronted by Noah Sebastian, made noise with their self-titled debut and really solidified things with Finding God Before God Finds You, an album that hit harder both sonically and lyrically. They've become known for songs that balance crushing riffs with genuinely catchy melodies, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The band doesn't shy away from heavier material but they're not afraid of hooks either. They've consistently toured their ass off, building one of metalcore's more devoted fanbases in the process. Their live energy is reflective of the crowd they attract—intense but not toxic.
Bad Omens shows get loud and physical without feeling reckless. The pit stays relatively controlled but absolutely moving. Noah Sebastian commands the stage naturally, not trying too hard. The crowd sings along to everything. People are there for the band, not their phones.
Known for THE WORST IN ME, STOP THE TIME, ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE, RECKLESS, LIKE A MIRACLE

Live Music in Riverside
Riverside's music scene has quietly built around venues willing to book heavier acts, though it lives somewhat in the shadow of LA's larger circuit. Metalcore and post-hardcore have found pockets here—the Inland Empire's always been more blue-collar about its rock, less concerned with trendiness. Bad Omens fits that ethos: heavy, direct, no pretense.
Riverside road trip to see Bad Omens?
Stay in the Magnolia Center area near downtown Riverside, where restored historic buildings sit alongside new boutique hotels and wine bars—it's the only neighborhood that actually feels like somewhere worth spending an evening. Before the show, dinner at Duane's, a reliable California steakhouse with real cocktails and actual craft to the food. Spend your afternoon at the Riverside Metropolitan Museum or walking through the Mission Inn's sprawling Mission Revival campus—it's genuinely stunning architecture, the kind of thing that reminds you why people actually settled this part of California.
